Part of my being very amused is just the excuse to find new ways to write Serebii-style titles (Next up: Grapes!). In the memories here there's an involved piece-by-piece review/summary of a terrible story I kept posting about largely because I found the titles I gave the characters during it hysterically funny. As to not getting it, eh, maybe she can explain what she's doing. (Or, I dunno, apologize? Her stance in the MARY SUE THREAD OF DOOMY DOOM seems to include saying reviewer enjoyment is important)
And I've always had really low tolerance for urple prose, so it's not so much getting warned off as I really just can't get through it, not even for the joys of mockery. My normal experience with that kind of writing was in a context where the sentences are properly constructed and make sense, where you're supposed to reread them if you don't get it the first time, and so I get frustrated really fast when I hit even one or two that flat-out don't make sense no matter how hard you try.
